Audrey (Monk) Gerst of Colora died at home March 27, 2015. She was 77. Born on March 24, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Oliver and Gladys Monk. She grew up on Kingsville and graduated from Parkville High School in 1956. Receiving Christ as her Savior in June of 1955, she was a member of Emmorton Baptist Church. In 2005, she moved to Colora to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren. There she attended Porters Grove Baptist Church. She loved her church family dearly and they returned the love to her. Mrs. Gerst enjoyed gardening and bird watching but her first love was caring for her family and others, and she would go out of her way to do so.
She is survived by her daughter, Donna Hellems, her son-in-law Todd, her grandchildren Donald and Joe Rosenthal, Todd Hellems, Jr. and Matthew, Stephanie and Jessica Hellems; and her great grandchildren Nathaniel and Olivia Rosenthal. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Donald H. Gerst, her sister, Dorothy Downer and her great granddaughter, Bailey Rosenthal. A visitation will be held at Porters Grove Baptist Church on Tuesday March 31, from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. with services at the church on Wednesday April 1, at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at Bel Air Memorial Gardens.
